Every 4s, Faramis' next skill against enemy heroes and summoned objects generates a soul fragment on the spot. Faramis can absorb the soul fragment to restore 100 (+50% Total Magic Power) HP and gain 2 extra Magic Power (up to 40 stacks). Upon death, he consumes the absorbed soul fragments to reduce the respawn timer, each reducing the timer by 3% (up to 90%). Enemies that die around Faramis also have a chance to drop soul fragments.
Gameplay guide
Faramis is a mid-lane or roam support mage who moves through terrain to mark and pull enemy heroes, deals branching area damage, and creates a six-second Nether Realm that gives allies extra HP plus a brief resurrection window when that Specter HP breaks.
Use Ghost Bursters through clustered minions and a hero, collect generated fragments safely, and rotate with Shadow Stampede's terrain access. Mark only targets that can be pulled toward allies without dragging Faramis into lethal focus.
Stay with the objective group and place Nether Realm across the area allies will actually fight in. Enter Shadow state, touch priority targets, retreat toward the team, and recast early to pull them into the zone and branching damage.
Protect the ultimate from being forced by poke before Lord. Cast before lethal burst but after allies have committed to a stable location, and remind the play through positioning: leaving the circle immediately removes Specter regardless of remaining extra HP.
Cast Cult Altar before the lethal burst begins; reacting after health bars disappear cannot protect the first deaths.
Collect soul fragments while rotating so Faramis enters the next fight with stronger recovery and a shorter revival timer.
Cast Cult Altar before the enemy's lethal area damage lands; the extra life cannot restore teammates who died outside its protection.

Nether Marks are applied by contact; ending Shadow state after retreating pulls every marked hero toward Faramis and groups them for the splitting burst.
Pull enemies into RealmRemain inside through Specter breakThe zone must cover the full engagement. When Specter HP breaks inside it, allies cleanse debuffs and receive the brief Resurrection state.
